UNDER SHADOWS Is Coming Fall 2026: A New Music and Short Novel Experience

Written by Carson Kelly -



A new creative chapter is beginning.

I’m officially announcing UNDER SHADOWS, a new music and short novel project coming this fall.

What started as a song has grown into something much bigger than I first expected. At first, UNDER SHADOWS was simply a music release I wanted to prepare for this year. But the more I listened to it, the more I felt there was a world inside it.

A feeling.
A story.
A shadow.
A doorway.

That is where UNDER SHADOWS began to become something more.

Instead of releasing the song by itself, I decided to build a larger experience around it: a cinematic music release, a short novel, original artwork, visual branding, and a creative world built around darkness, memory, resilience, and the strange beauty of finding light when everything feels lost.

At its heart, UNDER SHADOWS is about moving forward after disappointment. It is about walking through the dark without pretending the dark is not there. It is about silence, memory, unfinished dreams, and the moment when something inside you decides to keep going anyway.

The shadows in this project are not just darkness.

They are the places where old dreams wait.
They are the corners where memory still breathes.
They are the hidden spaces where something new can begin.

The visual identity of UNDER SHADOWS is built around black, violet, silver, cosmic shadows, glowing eclipse imagery, and a mysterious cinematic tone. It is meant to feel emotional, nocturnal, and otherworldly while still remaining personal.

This project also marks a new direction in how I want to release creative work. I love the idea of music and storytelling living together. A song can become a world. A world can become a story. And a story can make the song feel even deeper.

That is what I hope UNDER SHADOWS becomes.

A song.
A short novel.
A visual world.
A new experience.

Additional UNDER SHADOWS updates will be shared as the project moves toward release. Cover art, release information, music details, story details, and more will be revealed soon.

For now, I’m excited to finally open the door to this new project.

UNDER SHADOWS is coming Fall 2026.

Read the story. Hear the shadows.

šŸŒ‹ Avatar: Fire and Ash – A New Elemental Masterpiece Emerges with First Teaser Trailer

  Before the lights dimmed for Fantastic Four: The First Steps, an unexpected and electrifying surprise took over the screen: a first-look teaser for James Cameron’s next chapter in the Avatar saga, Avatar: Fire and Ash. And let me just say this up front... it was breathtaking. šŸ”„ First Impressions: A Teaser That Burns Bright In under two minutes, Avatar: Fire and Ash establishes itself as a visual and emotional powerhouse. This time, the element of fire takes center stage. Gone are the oceans and the reefs from The Way of Water;  instead, we are engulfed in flames, ash storms, scorched jungles, and red-orange sunsets that look ripped out of a dream... or a nightmare. There’s a darker tone here. This doesn’t just look like the next step in the Avatar universe; it feels like an evolution. From what was shown, it’s clear that Cameron is pushing his creative team even further. The rendering of fire alongside motion-captured performances is unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s not...

Well, they did it, ladies and gentlemen. Marvel Studios has finally delivered a Fantastic Four film that truly feels like a Fantastic Four film. From the opening moments to the end credits, Fantastic Four: The First Steps shines as one of the most visually stunning and emotionally satisfying entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. It’s colorful, full of heart, and packed with classic Marvel flair, but this time, it genuinely feels like a comic book has come to life. šŸŒŸ Stellar Performances Let’s talk about this cast. Julia Garner as Silver Surfer was a standout. Her performance was commanding, emotional, and magnetic. Every time she was on screen, you felt her power and presence she and Herbie were the stars of the show!  Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch completely won me over. He brings humor, fire (pun intended), and heart to the role. A perfect casting. Pedro Pascal gives a thoughtful and commanding performance as Reed Richards . He plays Reed...
